Worst laptop, in my system specs.. should have the spent the extra cash for the 8400m GS. Not exactly for gamers, but at least I could sorta dump my main PC for a while.

magibeg · May 9, 2008

When you say best computer are you doing it solely based on the stock hardware or is over clocking taken into account. Maybe the way to determine best would be to make them run a superpi to 16m, a science mark, 3dmark06, fur benchmark, and hd tach at their 24/7 settings. Each benchmark would be worth like 20% of their final score and they would be calculated on % of highest. The person who is the fastest would get 100% on any given benchmark and everyone else would be marked down according to them and average out all the 5 scores. Sounds mathy but it would probably balance things out better rather than who spent the most money the most recently

Just wondering, how are your 3870x2's scaling. I've seen a lot of benchmarks where they don't seem to work properly or a tri-fire runs faster. Was that just the reviewer not working them properly or old drivers?

ITman · May 9, 2008

Here is my entry for best laptop:

Dell Precision M6300
Processor: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7700 2.40Ghz
Motherboard: Dell GM965
Cooling: stock
Memory: Sansung PC2-5300, 4GB DDR2 667Mhz 5:5:5:15
Video Card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 3600M
Harddisk: The Seagate® Momentus® 7200.2 - 200GB Sata-300 7200RPM
CD/DVD Drive: 8x DVD-Writer
CRT/LCD Model: Dell 17" WXGA+ built-in
Benchmarks: 8785 3DMarks in 3DMark06 - default settings at 1280x800

Best part is I paid $0 for it (it's was provided at work)

Fitseries3 · May 9, 2008

they do alright. i have run both trifire and the 4 way and there is not much of a difference YET. i think the 8.5 drivers are supposed to fix that problem.

Triprift · May 9, 2008

My lappy looks rather beasty now thats a shock.

Bytor · May 9, 2008

Not the best, but not far off IMO.

AMD Phenom 9850 BE @ 2.990 ghz
Asus M3A32-MVP MB
2x Visiontek HD3870's in crossfire @ 864/1377
4 gigs Crucial Balistix Tracers (1066 @ 1236)
2x WD Raptors stripped

Dual water cooling loops (CPU & GPU's)

Joshmcmillan · May 9, 2008

How does a laptop Nvidia GO 7600 compare too a 7900GS? Just wondering with the best laptop as the current winner and Triprift's CPU and RAM are similar.

Joshmcmillan · May 9, 2008

ITMAN's laptop is better then your's isn't it triprift?

Updates 2nd and 3rd.

eidairaman1 · May 9, 2008

Look at my specs, heh

Probably worst machine here, but it Plays COD 4 and other games Fine, Unsure about Crysis tho, but keep on hearing that game is as boring as Doom3.

imperialreign · May 9, 2008

damn . . . the necromancy practioners revived another corpse . . . :twitch:

I guess I'll add mine then, although it floats somewhere in the middle - check sys specs for me.

Joshmcmillan · May 9, 2008

@eidairaman1, your's isn't the worse

. The worst computer currently has a 3.2ghz P4, but also 1gb of ram, 50gb IDE HD and a Geforce 6200.

JC316 · May 9, 2008

I think that I compete for worst with my office computer.

Athlon XP 2200
DFI AD77 motherboard
768MB PC3200 mis matched ram
Geforce FX 5900
20GB hard drive out of an HP Pavillion XE743

vexen · May 9, 2008

no offense, but we would rather make a 3DMark listing the performance, paper performance does not mean much.

DeathTyrant · May 9, 2008

Notebook: - Comanche SLI
Q9450
4GB DDR2-800
2x 8800M GTX SLI
2x 200GB 7200RPM Raid 0

PrudentPrincess · May 9, 2008

Huh, I have at computer at my job that only does word processing. I don't have specs but I'll try to get pics. :laugh:

Bundy · May 9, 2008

I've still got my first rig.....Im gunna flog ya's

System: DSE System 80 (Aussie version of TRS 80)
Processor: Z80
Mobo: Im not sure
Cooling: None
Memory 4k
Video card: onboard (but it has an inbuilt RF modulator)
Hard disk: None
Optical disk:none
storage: inbuilt casette recorder
Screen: I can use a monitor now but it worked good on a B&W tv
case: DSE system 80
Sound: onboard, linked to system speaker
software: onboard DOS.

It will play low res space invaders and I had a game called Asylum, a First person puzzle type of thing (all low res) but it worked. Shame there were no guns or I would have had the first FPS!

I was in two minds whether to post this because I am somewhat proud of this baby cos I was in high school at the time and had to get a job to pay for it. At over 25 years old, this machine almost deserves a place on the mantlepiece (or the pool room wall)

AHH sorry, I forgot the bit about it being my main computer. It was once........
